• Alexandria Bay Track

    August 4 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    A lovely day for a hike!
    The track was only supposed to take around 1–2 hours and be an easy hike. It was — I can confirm.
    What took me by surprise, however, was the sudden warning sign about a quarter of the way in. Apparently, a dingo had been sighted in the area. They also recommended not hiking alone… because of said dingo.
    But what was I gonna do?

    I was fine — otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this right now — but I’m not gonna lie, I was rather tense for the rest of the hike and very relieved when I didn’t run into the dingo in question. (Though I will be in the area again for other hikes, so fingers crossed 😬.)

    The hike itself was beautiful, and it was my warmest day in Australia so far — 25°C! That’s the winter I came here for.

    Alexandria Bay has an impressive beach with astonishingly high waves that crashed into the rocks on the right side quite beautifully.
    (There’s a 20-photo limit per post — that’s the only reason you don’t see more than three pics of cool wave-rock collisions!)

    To end the day, I went back to the main beach and enjoyed the sunset with my camera.
    And a chocolate thickshake. (Mixing things up!)
